Chapter 401 Dai Mubai is about to make a move
When Zhu Zhuqing mocked him as a coward who had willingly fallen into depravity, Dai Mubai was speechless and had nothing to say.
But when he heard Zhu Zhuqing say she wanted to break off their engagement, Dai Mubai couldn't stand it anymore:
"What did you say? Say it again."
"No matter how many times I say it, it's the same. I say, our engagement is dissolved from this moment on!"
call--
After saying her last words, Zhu Zhuqing let out a long breath and suddenly felt much better.
She hadn't spoken so much in a long time, but today she finally got to say it all, and the scolding and sarcasm directed at Dai Mubai gave her a strange sense of catharsis.
In addition, she expressed her true feelings and dissolved her engagement with Dai Mubai.
Although it was just verbal and didn't count as actual words, it took a great deal of courage for her to say it.
After all, her engagement with Dai Mubai was not just a simple political marriage; it involved the relationship between the Xingluo Zhu family and the Dai family, and involved many interests.
This engagement is too significant and involves too many people; it cannot be easily dissolved by her alone.
Moreover, once the Zhu and Dai families find out, her fate will likely be grim.
She didn't know why she had such courage to bring up the matter of breaking off the engagement.
Perhaps it was Brother Ye who gave him the courage.
Zhu Zhuqing thought to herself silently.
Thinking of this, she turned her gaze toward Ye Qifeng and, sure enough, saw his gentle smile and encouraging, supportive eyes.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing became even more determined in her beliefs.
…………
In a corner of the lobby of the Rose Hotel.
Tang San and Xiao Wu leaned against the wall, comforting their wounded hearts.
Because Ye Qifeng deliberately held back, neither of them suffered serious injuries.
Although Xiao Wu's face hit the ground and looked terrible, she was not disfigured.
Although Tang San took a hard kick to the chest, he only felt a bit tightness in his chest and couldn't breathe properly; neither of his bones were broken.
However, what made Tang San and Xiao Wu feel the most uncomfortable was the burning pain in their internal organs, and their strength was almost zero, making it difficult for them to move.
They could only lean against the wall, their faces grim, and grit their teeth as they endured the pain.
Fortunately, Ye Qifeng stopped attacking, which made Tang San and Xiao Wu secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
They thought the matter would end there, but to their surprise, Dai Mubai, who should have already left, suddenly reappeared.
Then he got into an argument with the girl who was extremely beautiful and had a great figure.
As Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's argument escalated, Tang San and Xiao Wu finally understood why Dai Mubai had suddenly jumped in and started arguing with Zhu Zhuqing.
After hearing Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's conversation, Tang San and Xiao Wu were both stunned.
"Hey mistress, I think I heard something incredible! That shameless big-breasted woman, uh, that pretty girl, is actually Dai Mubai's fiancée? Really? Did I hear that right?"
Xiao Wu, true to her nickname "Rogue Rabbit," couldn't suppress her gossipy nature despite the excruciating pain. She endured the pain, moved closer to Tang San's ear, and whispered some gossip.
However, when mentioning Zhu Zhuqing's name, Xiao Wu immediately changed her address for fear of being overheard by Ye Qifeng and Zhu Zhuqing and suffering retaliation.
"Xiao Wu, you heard right. According to Dai Mubai, that girl is indeed his fiancée, and she has admitted it."
Tang San nodded, but inwardly he sneered and uttered a disdainful remark to Zhu Zhuqing:
"Hehe, a woman who doesn't uphold traditional virtues would be drowned in a pig cage in the Tang Clan's world."
Thinking of this, Tang San immediately added:
"Judging from what Dai Mubai said, it seems that the girl was seeing another man behind Dai Mubai's back, and the man was... well, that man, which is why Dai Mubai was so angry."
At this moment, Tang San dared not mention Ye Qifeng, or even look at him. He could only carefully change his words, just like Xiao Wu, and refer to him as "that man".
"Hey? What's there to be angry about, Dai Mubai? Isn't he also seeing women outside? He's seeing twin sisters, so it evens things out, doesn't it?"
Xiao Wu, being a mischievous rabbit, seemed quite puzzled by this.
"Xiao Wu, that's not how you understand it."
Tang San frowned, feeling that Xiao Wu's thinking had a serious problem and it was necessary to change her mindset. So he quickly tried to instill his own ideas in her:
"It's not good that Dai Mubai is seeing other women, but think about it, isn't it also immoral for a girl to be seeing other men? In fact, it's much more serious and egregious."
At this point, Tang San's attitude had clearly shifted towards supporting Dai Mubai.
He had a vague premonition that Dai Mubai would likely clash with the man who had hurt and humiliated him and Xiao Wu because of Zhu Zhuqing.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, they and Dai Mubai should be in the same camp.
After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Moreover, he had a good impression of Dai Mubai and greatly admired Dai Mubai's generosity and straightforwardness.
As for Dai Mubai's personal preferences, Tang San didn't think it was a big problem, after all, it was just a man's nature.
Many of the friends he knew in the Tang Clan in his previous life were like that; they often spent their free time listening to music in brothels, so there was nothing to criticize about them.
Furthermore, since Dai Mubai claimed that he could take care of him and Xiao Wu at Shrek Academy, it means that Dai Mubai must have a certain status at Shrek Academy.
As instructed by the master, he and Xiao Wu were bound to join Shrek Academy.
If that's the case, then Dai Mubai has something he can use.
After he and Xiao Wu enroll in Shrek Academy, Dai Mubai should be able to bring them many conveniences.
Taking all factors into consideration.
No matter what, Tang San would stand on Dai Mubai's side, and would not choose to stand on the side of the man who hurt and humiliated him and Xiao Wu, or the girl named Zhu Zhuqing.
"Oh? Is that so?"
Xiao Wu listened to Tang San's words, but she was somewhat confused.
Although she has been in the human world for six years, she is not very familiar with the rules of the human world.
Yes, that's right.
Tang San's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded affirmatively, then continued to instill in Xiao Wu what he considered to be the "correct" viewpoint:
"Xiao Wu, in Douluo Continent, men can actually have multiple wives and concubines. Moreover, the higher a man's status and strength, the more likely he is to have at least one woman by his side."
"So Dai Mubai's pursuit of pleasure outside isn't really a big problem. He's just satisfying his physical needs, which isn't a big deal."
"On the contrary, it's that girl who went out to find other men behind Dai Mubai's back; that's the real problem. Her actions are unchaste and will be condemned by the world."
"After all, she and Dai Mubai have already made a marriage agreement, and once a marriage agreement is made, it is equivalent to making a contract, which should be abided by."
"Women, especially, as fiancées, must abide by the marriage vows, be loyal to their fiancés, and must not do anything that betrays them."
"Among these, upholding traditional womanly virtues and remaining chaste are the most basic requirements. But clearly, that girl failed to do so."
Tang San, after all, came from the Tang Clan, a low-class sect in a low-level martial arts world. He was a member of the martial arts world and his mind was full of male superiority and female inferiority ideas.
While the mainstream ideology in Douluo Continent today prioritizes strength, the concept of male superiority and female inferiority still holds an unparalleled position, which is not much different from the deeply ingrained ideas in Tang San's mind.
Therefore, Tang San explained his thoughts to Xiao Wu with a confident and self-assured manner.
"Oh, I see."
After listening to Tang San's explanation, Xiao Wu suddenly understood and seemed to have a general idea.
This is just like the rules in the world of soul beasts: the stronger the male, the more female mates he can enjoy.
However, there is one difference: in the world of spirit beasts, powerful females can also enjoy more male mates, but women in the human world seem to be able to be loyal to only one husband, otherwise they will be despised and regarded as unchaste.
Why can men have multiple wives and concubines, but women can't?
That's so unfair!
The human world is really strange; it's not as direct or fair as the world of spirit beasts.
Although Xiao Wu felt that Tang San's words made sense, she also felt that something was not quite right, and she was inexplicably a little angry.
She stared intently at Tang San:
"Mistress, although I think what you said makes a lot of sense, you're not allowed to be like Dai Mubai, flirting with other women everywhere."
"Well"
Tang San's expression froze:
"Xiao Wu, am I that kind of person?"
Xiao Wu, however, disregarded all that and raised her soft hand, making a cutting gesture towards Tang San:
"It's best not to, otherwise..."
"???"
Tang San felt a chill run down his spine, a cold sensation in his groin.
He quickly pledged his loyalty:
"Xiao Wu, you know best what kind of person I am."
"From childhood to adulthood, you've been the only girl in my life, and I've only ever slept in the same bed with you. I've never been with any other girl."
"That's true."
Xiao Wu thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true.
Her third brother seemed to only like blacksmithing and making hidden weapons. He studied at Notting College for six years, but no other girls seemed interested in him. She was the only one by his side from beginning to end.
Thinking about it this way, Xiao Wu immediately became happy, but she still emphasized one point:
Even so, you can't touch other girls in the future.
"Oh, okay."
"What, you're unwilling?"
"without."
"That's more like it."
…………
After expressing her desire to break off the engagement.
Zhu Zhuqing no longer wanted to pay attention to Dai Mubai, and was about to step around him and walk back to her beloved Brother Ye.
Anyway, everything that needed to be said has been said.
She didn't want to waste any more words on Dai Mubai, that disgusting filthy thing.
"stop!"
However, Dai Mubai roared angrily, his tall figure blocking Zhu Zhuqing's path once again, preventing her from taking another step forward.
Dai Mubai, who was already furious because he suspected Zhu Zhuqing of betraying him by having affairs, was now completely enraged.
Hearing that Zhu Zhuqing unilaterally declared that she wanted to break off their engagement made Dai Mubai even more furious and he felt deeply humiliated.
Dai Mubai, a grown man and the third prince of the Star Luo Empire with a noble status and extraordinary position, was actually jilted by a woman.
If this gets out, where will he put his face?
Moreover, without Zhu Zhuqing, he would probably have no hope of defeating his elder brother Davis in the future. His only fate would be death, or the loss of his cultivation, becoming a cripple, and then being imprisoned until his death.
Although he himself believed that he had no hope of defeating his older brother Davis,
What if?
What if he and Zhu Zhuqing were to master the Netherworld White Tiger martial soul fusion skill and accidentally defeat the combined forces of Davis and Zhu Zhuyun?
Although he had given up on himself, he still harbored a sliver of hope that a miracle would happen so that he could defeat his older brother, Davis.
But now Zhu Zhuqing intends to break off the engagement, extinguishing the last glimmer of hope in his heart. How can he bear this?
Did I let you leave?
Dai Mubai blocked Zhu Zhuqing's path, his anger barely contained.
He even unleashed his martial spirit, the White Tiger, with three dazzling spirit rings—yellow, yellow, and purple—rising from beneath his feet.
In an instant, Majestic aura, accompanied by powerful soul force fluctuations, suddenly erupted and acted upon Zhu Zhuqing.
"Dai Mubai, what do you mean?"
Startled by Dai Mubai's sudden display of power, Zhu Zhuqing instinctively took a half-step back, her eyebrows furrowing sharply, her tone chilling to the bone.
"What do you mean?"
Dai Mubai chuckled coldly and said in a domineering tone:
"Zhu Zhuqing, you need to understand that our engagement cannot be dissolved just because you say so."
"You want to break off the engagement? That's impossible, absolutely impossible. You can only be my wife, Dai Mubai's wife."
"And what exactly is your relationship with that pretty boy? You need to give me an explanation today!"
Dai Mubai pointed to Ye Qifeng, who was standing silently to the side.
"You have no right to ask me for an explanation. Get out of my way, I don't want to waste my breath on you."
Zhu Zhuqing didn't want to pay attention to him and responded coldly.
"Zhu Zhuqing, my patience is limited. Don't force me to take action."
Dai Mubai exhaled a heavy breath from his nostrils, clenched his fist at Zhu Zhuqing, indicating that she had better explain herself quickly, otherwise he might take action and force her to clarify.
"Oh? You want to fight back?"
Zhu Zhuqing was not intimidated by Dai Mubai's threat at all. Instead, she raised her snow-white chin and coldly provoked Dai Mubai:
"Go ahead and do it if you dare."
"Dai Mubai, if you don't dare to make a move today, I, Zhu Zhuqing, will look down on you."
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai's anger intensified, and he could no longer restrain himself:
"Since you're so ungrateful, don't blame me for taking action."
"I'll take you down first, then I'll take down that pretty boy, and then we'll interrogate them properly."
